   I Have the following question!
   I am using "make" to compile and link my program consisting out of 3 files.
   If I use an unix-editor the make works fine. But if I use a DOS-Editor 
   (Q-Edit) there is a Problem.
   Error-message: missing separator
   I use the TAB before the commands but I think something with the TAB 
   goes wrong. Can someone give help?

Your editor is translating tabs to a string of spaces.  Command lines in
makefiles MUST begin with a <TAB> not spaces!  See if Q-Edit allows you to 
enter a CTRL-I ( (char)9 ) as a quoted character.
